BOOKS OF INTEREST TO 
WOMEN VOTERS 


Allen, William H. Women’s part in gov¬ 
ernment. 1911. 

Beard, Charles A. American city govern¬ 
ment; a survey of newer tendencies. 
1912. 

This is not a systematic treatise but a survey of 
tendencies, with emphasis on the social and economic 
functions of city government. 

- American government and politics. 

1914. 

This volume treats federal, state and local gov¬ 
ernment in a systematic and practical way. It is 
designed for advanced students rather than for 
those who are just beginning their studies. 

Beard, Charles A., and Mary R. Beard. 
American citizenship. 1914. 

In the preparation of this volume the authors have 
made a special effort to avoid writing from a “mascu¬ 
line point of view,” ignoring the changed position 
of women in modern society. “Civics,” they say, 
“concerns the whole community, and women consti¬ 
tute half of that community.” 

Beard, Mary R. Woman’s work in mu¬ 
nicipalities. 1915. (National Municipal 
League series.) 

The author attempts to give some idea in this 

3 




volume of the extent and variety of women’s interests 
and activities in cities and towns, and to show to 
those interested in civic matters the interrelation of 
each particular effort with larger social problems. 

Boynton, Frank D. Actual government of 
New York. A manual of the local, mu¬ 
nicipal, state and federal government, 
for use in public and private schools of 
New York State. 1916. 

Bryce, James. The American common¬ 
wealth. 1915. 

This is an abridgment of what is generally con¬ 
ceded to be the best account ever written of the 
political institutions of the United States. It is re¬ 
markable for its accuracy and sympathetic insight 
into the history, character and habits of the American 
people. 

Hart, A. B. Actual government as applied 
under American conditions. 1914. 

Comprehensive and encyclopedic on every phase 
of American government. 

Hill, Mabel, and Philip Davis. Civics for 
new Americans. 1915. 

Though written for the instruction of immigrants 
or “new Americans,” this volume, because of its 
simple language and treatment of the familiar func¬ 
tions of local government, will be useful to newly 
enfranchised voters, be they “new” Americans or 
“old.” 

Holcombe, Arthur N. State government in 
the United States. 1916. 

This volume is designed to furnish a critical analy¬ 
sis of the principles of state government. The thor- 


4 


ough treatment of both theoretical and practical ques¬ 
tions leaves little to be desired. Part 2, on “The 
working of the state governments,” has useful chap¬ 
ters on “The state electorate,” “The political party,” 
“The conduct of elections,” etc. 


James, Herman G. Municipal functions. 
1917. (National Municipal League se¬ 
ries.) 

On the more important municipal functions there 
is probably nothing better for the general reader. 

Contents: The growth of municipal functions. 
Public safety. Public health. Public education. 
Public morals. Social welfare. City planning. Pub¬ 
lic works. Public utilities. Municipal ownership. 
Municipal finances — revenues. Municipal finances 
— debts, budget and accounting. Conclusion. 

Macy, Jesse. Party organization and ma¬ 
chinery. 1912. 

Morse, Perley. The A B C of the govern¬ 
ment of the United States. 1916. 

In the briefest possible space this small volume 
outlines the organization and functions of federal, 
state, and local government, including political and 
election machinery. 

Munro, W. B. The government of Ameri¬ 
can cities. 1916. 

The aim of this volume is to describe the machinery 
of city government. 

- Principles and methods of municipal 

administration. 1916. 

This work deals with the functions rather than 


5 



with the framework of the city, as the following 
chapter headings show: 

Contents: The quest for efficiency. City planning. 
Streets. Water supply. Waste disposal and sewer¬ 
age. Public lighting. Police administration. Fire 
prevention and fire protection. School administra¬ 
tion. Municipal finance. 

New York City. Municipal Year Book of 
the City of New York. Prepared by the 
Municipal Reference Library under the 
direction of the Assistant Secretary to 
the Mayor. 1916. 

The Year Book is designed to serve as a book of 
reference on the government of New York City. It 
describes concisely the functions and organization 
of every branch of the city government and contains 
charts showing city and county offices, a directory 
of city officials, and important statistical data. The 
volume is designed especially to serve as a reference 
book. 


Ostrogorski, Ad. L. Democracy and the 
party system in the United States. 1910. 

This is an abridged edition of a two-volume work 
generally considered _ to be the best on the history, 
organization and activities of parties in the United 
States. 


Woodburn, J. A. Political parties and party 
problems in the United States. 1914. 


Wright, Henry C. The American city; an 
outline of its development and functions. 
"'16. 


i^Tljejf general|r gacdL r^ker than the special student, 
ay the author of this little 
book. It is designed to be a bird’s-eye view of the 
city; a broad outline of the functions performed by 
the people grouped together into a city.
